Unity - Something About Christmas Snowman

 Here is a card.I made using the Unity stamp, Something About Christmas.  I am way behind in making Christmas cards so I am making them every chance I get so hopefully I will have enough to mail out this year.

I made this card for a challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  The challenge theme is "Do You Want To Make a Snowman?".  I love doing the challenges there and it is a great place to learn new things and meet other card makers.  I don;t get to go there and play as much as I would like, but I have to tell you, I was a horrible card maker when I first found Splitcoast Stampers and I sure learned a lot there.  If you have never gone to their site, I would hope you would check it out.  You might like it as much as me.  :)

Thank you, for coming by today.  It is always great to have you visit.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Mountain Flowers

 Good Morning, Cardmaking Friends.  I hope this finds you all well and keeping warm. We have had some chilly days with a little wind, that made it seem really cold.  Yesterday we had a warmer day and by the weekend it will be very cold.  I don't know about you, but I am freezing most of the time.  I see why bears hibernate.  :)

Today I am sharing cards that I made with the New Mountain Flowers stamp set.   I love how the flowers are big enough to really put the color in and make a statement. I liked putting in the colors on the mountains to make them come alive.  I like a lot of color, just incase you hadn't guessed.  :)

I started this card by stamping the image on white card stock,  purchased at Walmart.  I colored the image with Copic Markers.  The clouds were made using the Heidi Pettie Cloud Stencil and Tempting Turquoise ink.

This card was made the same as the first card and I chose different colors for it.

Thank you, so much, for stopping in today to take a look at my card.

Have a great week.

Crackerbox Birthday Fire extinguisher

 I have had this image on my desk for a while and decided to put a card base with it so I could put his in my stash incase the right birthday came along to use it.  I think is funny, but you never know if someone is going to take offense when they receive it.

The inside says "Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you!  Happy Birthday deeeeeaaaarrrr fossil, Happy Birthday to you!

 Monday's are always about my Blue Knight Rubber Stamps cards.  Today I have a couple of cards made with the NEW Flower Walkway stamp.  I love how this one is part silhouette and part of it can be colored.  

For both of these cards, I stamped the image on white card stock and used my Copic Markers to color the walk and the flowers.  I used a cloud template and distress ink to make my puffy clouds.

Have a fabulous day and I hope you come back again soon.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Northern Lights with Leaning Guitarist

 Good Morning Friends.  Hope you all are doing well and ready for the new week.

We are having much cooler temperatures and looks like Winter is almost here.  Not looking forward to the freezing weather or the time change we will have next month.  It will take me forever to get my sleep pattern changed again.  Ugh!!!  

Today I am sharing cards that I made using the NEW Northern Lights Designer Paper.  This paper is gorgeous and it really comes in handy when I need a quick card.  I just add a silhouette stamp and sometimes a sentient and the card is done.  

I picked a piece of the gorgeous Northern Lights paper.  I chose the Leaning Guitarist,  the Sympathy set and the Silhouette Dogs to stamp on the paper.

This card is donning another Beautiful sheet of the Northern Lights Paper.  I Chose the Mountain And Mist and Forest Stamp  and the Sympathy set for this card.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my cards today.  It was not only fun to make them, but also quick to make.

Have a wonderful week and I will see you again soon.  I appreciate your coming by today.

Blue Knight Pine Tree Trio Night Sky

On Thursday of this week, I made a card for the Ways to Use It Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers.  The challenge was to make a card with a night sky.  I had noticed a day or so earlier that some of the Water Colorists on Splitcoast had made cards where it look like one was looking up in the sky from the middle of a forest gazing at the tall trees and sun.  It really looked neat so I decided to make one for the night sky challenge.  I started by choosing my paper and then made a circle stencil to make the moon.  I used a gold spray to on the circle.  There was something that went awry and my paint made a few splotches that was not on the sun.  I ditched the paper and made another card with a day sky with the trees.  On Friday, I decided to pick up the ditched paper with the Trees and use it anyway.  I am glad I did because now I think that mistake added to the look of the sky.   Below you will find both cards I made using the trees.

The night sky is my favorite because I like bright colors. 

If you have not been to Splitcoast Stampers, I highly suggest you do.  It is a lot of fun and they have a new challenge or two everyday.  I learned to stamp at Splitcoast.  It is a great way to learn new things, they have tutorials that are very helpful.  I made a lot of new friends there over 20 years ago and many of us still keep in contact and still stamp together there.  Some of the friends I made there have come to my home to visit and I have gone to some of theirs.  

Thank you, for taking a look at my cards.

Blue Knight Northern Lights Paper Roof Top Barn And Deer

 Happy Monday Morning.  Today I am sharing a couple of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps cards with you that was made using the New Northern Lights Designer Paper.  I am loving this paper,  I think I may have already mentioned that in last weeks post.  Every card I have made with it really looks great.  I love the colors of it.  Let's get started and I will show you the cards for this week.

I started out with the Northern Lights designer paper and I stamped the Silhouette Roof Top Barn directly on the paper.   That is all I did to make this beautiful card.  

I did the very same thing on the card, only I used the   Silhouette Deer by the River stamp.

Thank you, for stopping in to see my cards today.  Have a wonderful day.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Northern Lights Designer Paper & Lighthouses

 Hello, Friends.  I hope this finds each of you doing well and having a great Monday.  It is a little chilly this morning.  Actually we have had three days of cooler weather.  The last couple have been a little cooler than I liked.  I wore a long sleeve shirt yesterday and I was still cold.  I think it is going to warm up to the 90's this week.  I suppose I will warm up soon.  ~smile~

Today I am sharing cards I made using the Blue Knight NEW Northern Lights Designer Paper.  I decided to go with a lighthouse theme.  The colors of the papers are really gorgeous.  I love how the stamps look on them.

I stamped the images directly on the Northern Lights Paper.  I used the Lighthouse Silhouette  stamp on the first card.  On the second card I used the Little Lighthouse Silhouette stamp on the second.

I hope you enjoyed the cards.  Thank you, for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - New Designer Paper

Have a great week.  

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Mixed Media Cards

 Hello, Friends.  Today I am sharing a couple of cards that are a little different for me, I used the new Mixed Media stamps.  I have made mixed media cards, but it was a long time ago.  I was a little nervous when I started working these, but that didn't last very long.  I will show you what I came up with.

I started this card by stamping the Dictionary Page background stamp on the Mixed Media Paper.   I then stamped the Grazing Horse Silhouette stamp at the bottom of the paper.  After that I used the 

Mixed Media clear stamps and the HOPE Birthday clear stamps to finish my card.

I chose another piece of the Mixed Media paper and started stamping this one.  I used the Mixed Media stamps, Tell Me the Story of Jesus background stamp and Silhouette Birds on Branches.

I hoped you liked the cards.  Thank you, for stopping by.  Have a great week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Mixed Media Paper and Sympathy Set

 Hello, today I am sharing cards that I made using Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Mixed Media Paper and the New Sympathy Set.

I stamped the Silhouette Rooftop Barn on a piece of designer paper that was in my stash waiting to be used.  ~Smile~ I added the Sentiment from the Sympathy Set to complete my card.

Both cards were super easy, but look like they they might have taken a while longer.  I like the simplicity of them, but yet they pretty and clean look to them.

Thank you, for stopping in.  I hope you liked the cards.

The first card was started by stamping the Birthday Set sentiment and the Windmill and Corn stamp on the NEW Mixed Media Designer Paper.  I love how easy this was to make and how nice the stamps look on the paper.

Here is another really quick card using the Birthday Set.  I chose the Cloudy Sky designer paper to use on this one.  I stamped the Birthday Sentiment and the Majestic Pines stamps directly to the paper.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Hope Sympathy Stamp set and Mixed Media Paper

 Hello Stampers, I am going to share a couple of card that I made using the Hope Sympathy  Stamp set and the Mixed Media   Designer Paper.

I started this card by stamping the Dictionary Page Background stamp directly on the paper.  I randomly sponged some Pink Acrylic Paint on the paper.  I thought a Flamingo card needed some pink added to it, especially since I like the color pink.  I added the Flamingo's and Wild Grass Stamp and two sentiments from the Hope Sympathy Set to the Mixed Media Paper which completed the cards.  

I took a piece of  designer paper that had a Wood Look and sponged distress inks over it.  I left a small corner of the paper clean so I could color the lower portion of the image.  I stamped the Flowers in  Grass stamp over it and colored the flowers and leaves with Copic Markers.  I stamped the Hope Sympathy sentiment to complete the card.

I appreciate you coming by today to see my cards.  I hope you have a great week.

Happy Birthday Old Cluck

 Hi, well, today I am playing with some older stamps that have not had love in quite a while.  Mark's Finest Paper closed several years ago, but I still love many of their stamps, especially this 2012 set called "Flaps my Waddles".  My Chicken Wire background stamp had not seen the light of day for awhile so I decided to use it with the fun Chicks.   It was fun playing with them again.  

I used different Stampin' Up paper on them and slightly changed the design on the first one from the second one.

Thank you, for coming by and taking a look at these sweet chicks that the mailman will be delivering in the mail soon.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Panda Bamboo

Well, my friends, here it is August and it is time that school will be starting next week and for some the week after, in our neighboring towns.   It seems like school starts earlier every year.  Long, long, ago, when I went to school, we did not start until after Labor Day, if I am remembering correctly.  :)

Today I have two cards to share with you that I made with the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Panda Bamboo set.  It comes with the image and a sentiment.

For this card I found this awesome origami paper in my stash.  I found another piece of designer paper that matched well with the origami paper that I stamped my image and sentiment on.  I used a Copic marker to color the bamboo.  The panda looked a little blue so I used a white marker on him.  I used my Cloud Stencil to make the clouds.

I stamped the image and  the Sorrowful Pup sentiment on white card stock.  I used the cloud stencil to make the clouds.   I cut the sentiment out and adhered it  over the clouds. 

Thanks, so much, for dropping in for a visit.  I appreciate you dropping by.  I hope you have a wonderful week.

Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Bamboo Borders

 Hello, I am back today with cards made with Blue Knight Rubber Stamps. I am using the NEWLY released Bamboo Borders Stamp set.

I chose to use a piece of Designer Paper from my stash to show off the Bamboo.  I used one full stamp of Bamboo on one side of the paper and a partially stamped Bamboo on the other side.  I thought stamping the sentiment in between them was a perfect way to showcase this set.

For this card I used a piece of designer paper and then stamped the Bamboo on one side of it.  Next I took the Blue Knight Rectangle Stencil and Stamp Thru Set and filled the stencil in used a color of ink compatible with the paper.  Once the ink was done, I stamped the Delightful Dandelions sentiment over it.  I used the thicker stencil to make the mask and the thinner stencil to stamp the image.

Thank you, all, for coming by today for a visit.  It is always good to have you here. Have a great week.
